Big win for small school districts! Gov. Newsom, lawmakers strike deal on $15 billion education construction bond: Derick Lennox, an advocate representing the Small School Districts’ Association, said, “AB 48 will directly benefit small school districts and financial hardship districts — two constituencies that have the most to overcome when building schools. It’s a huge win for more than half the districts in the state.” 🎊🎊📰
